BEFORE READING THIS POST GO WATCH  "THE GOOD PLACE" ON NETFLIX. Easy clues that you hate your life: 1. You have a toxic relationship (or more than one). 2. You hate your work. 3. You're bored. 4. You complain all the time. (Linked article that I liked while researching content: https://www.joe.ie/life-style/signs-that-you-hate-your-job-so-much-that-you-need-a-get-out-now-538865) Yeah, yeah, we know. And there are a bunch of articles and stuff about that so I won't get into it. I don't want to talk about hating your life. It's shit, it's hard, but it's not so hard to notice. I want to talk about NOT loving it. Watching "The good place", the point is how torture works. They shaped horrible things to particularly turn heaven into hell for one person but managing to make it seem like heaven and I thought "Do I have things like that?

To me, yes, I had partied enough and I had lost plenty. But, I hadn't felt many of the things these people were saying. Sure, I've felt pa...

I heard bits of his quote and it made me feel so inspired, I'll share it here... "Young folks allow themselves to simply float through life without defining their path. Time doesn't mean the same to them. Time feels like an endless promise, health feels like it will last forever and love is a new discovery. Growing older, the thickening of time becomes louder, a little more every day. You start to feel imprisoned by your decisions, your choices, the path you went on without even realizing it. You didn't choose your house, your wife, your degree. You floated, from what was told to you, you obeyed. You followed someone else because you simply didn't know better. Youth is wasted on the young because they haven't learned the value of the gift they have received: life. Life, your life matters, who you are is important and you must value it as your biggest asset, your most important possession, your only possession. So you stand up, you fight for something, yo...
